\u201cWe were fortunate to have four great candidates apply, each bringing unique qualifications and a strong desire to serve,\u201d said CCWD Board President Jeff Davidson. \u201cIt was a very difficult decision, but we believe Mr. Robertson\u2019s broad experience and community involvement make him a great fit for the District.\u201d<\/p>\n
